Capture Image from Camera

Hi, I would like to develop an application that will take pictures with a camera. From googling around I've seen some things about WIA, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any good tutorials to get me started.

I'm trying to keep it simple for now. Pretty much what I would like to do is have a button on a form and when the user clicks the button the camera takes the picture and saves it to the hard drive on the computer.

Thank you for the reply. I looked into it a little bit and it seems like TWAIN is geared more towards scanners, but I will do more research on it. Please keep in mind it does not have to be a WIA solution, if there is a better method for completing this task, fire away, I'm open to all suggestions. As long as it's not a 3rd party thing where I have to pay. I'm on a very small budget...

Re: Capture Image from Camera

I did a project a while back where I had to capture images from a camera I used a twain interface to do this. One of the options I noticed and tested along the way was to snap a picture. It worked fine and was not that hard to do.
